About 3d60.works

b&mi GmbH & Co. KG operates the Cloud Crafting Platform under the 3d60.works brand, a Manufacturing-as-a-Service ecosystem for hyper-local manufacturing. The platform brings together Consumers, Product Managers and certified Service Providers (Matching), streams manufacturing data to production machines at the destination (Distributing) and monitors the distributed manufacturing process (Monitoring). Manufacturing takes place within a radius of 100 km of the destination through a network of service providers in additive manufacturing, CNC machining, robotics and augmented reality. Supplementary offerings include Virtual Stocking (a virtual warehouse with a digital twin of the product) and a pay-per-use billing model in which only the actual costs incurred for material, labor and energy are charged. The founders Burkhard List and Michaela List-Ebner come from high-quality furniture manufacturing and developed the platform in response to long delivery times, loss of know-how and fragile global supply chains. The company is based in Wiesmath, Austria.

History

2021
The grounding of the container ship Ever Given, which brought parts of the European economy to a standstill, motivated the founders to develop more resilient, local supply chains.
